Harrington intends to press on Lord Salisbury the
rcadmission of Lord Randolph Churchill into the
Cabinet They are determined he shall not come
back and prepared to risk even Lord liartlng-
tons displcasurc The old game of intrigue and
cabal has begun over again. People In panic
do not stop TO weigh their words, and Lord Ran
doph Churchill has the gift of keeping his OPP
ponents in his own party in pretty continual
alarm. Their chief organ in the press is he
st. Jamcs's Gazette" Mr. Greenwood, who edits
that journal, is sincere and able but bitter lie
opened fresh broadside against Lord Randolph
Churchill Yesterday No doubt il is true, as he
SAYS that Lord Randolph Churchill is strongly
disiked and deeply distrustcd among portion OF
the Tory party in the House. Certainly 1t is not
true that he has lost half his popularity III the

afraid of him. They say he has been misleading
people into believing he has sown all his poil'lcal
wild oats and PLAYING at soberncss and dscrctio

But If ANYTHING IS certain it is certain that MI
Dalfour Will remain Irish Secretary. Another
interesting story is that Lord Salisbury considers

Irish incidents and topics numerous. AS

Rosebcry's at Oldham is noticeable for an attack
on Lord Harrington. Lord ROsebery, as he truly
said has heretofore avoided criticisms on od col
leagues. He and Lord Harrington are personal
friends Yet Lord IIartinston's Rawtcnstall
speech provollcs retogt from Lord Rosebery that
may be called rcsentful. Lord Granville distilled
a number Of elegant epigrams in the presence OF

ing personalities.

this is one OF them "Thc Times" is invited to
explain who is the Irish Or suS who hnds this
huge sum but docs not. Scotland Yard makes
serious views indeed Of the dynamite question as
q whole The authorities do not regret, they say,
that the attention Of the public should be called
to the subject. They maintain the accuracy OF
their statements in recent cases before the courts

and Mr. Bafour is in the great st danger OF all.

Mr.. BARLEY Campbclrs American play
Siberia produced at the Princesss Theatre last
evening was coldly received here. 1t is said the
American press SIX years ago pronounced
"Siberias q strong play. If so observes one
critic il has grown weak by keeping The CON
struction is faulty and the dialogue poor. Miss
Grace Hawthorne, who for months has led us to
hope she would do great things with good part,
has again failed TO impress the public. She was
thought artificial cold and crude by most people
